This man has been drained to within an inch of his life by the constant attacks for just trying to help people better themselves and he is still here. I think he needed this, I'm glad they got to speak.
The amount of mental stamina this guy has is insane. Like I know everyone has his limits, but goddamn his are far above mine.
Very well said.
Nothing but heroes in this clip.
@@atticus2581 I agree. I think he is a brilliant man.
@@poetsrear Both likeable people too.
What?! He is an idiotic junkie that put himself into a coma because he was too much of a child to stop eating animal products...
It's sad to see people showing the Peterson's respect. They are nothing but con artists, everyone.
The moment he feels vindicated, he breaks down and has to tell her how Marvel has wronged him.
It’s like he walks around with the burden of having to explain to everyone he encounters that he’s not a Nazi supervillain. .
It’s effing heartbreaking because he’s a Superhero to MILLIONS ❤️❤️❤️
Boycott Marvel Comics
the actual comic book industry is failing as it has been taken over by the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel worst-of-the-worst woke soldiers. Eventually when no one is buying their garbage anymore, this won't be an issue for Jordan
Good thing i stopped watching all their shit as i saw the bs getting through their work.
@@rastaisfuture8630 No, Bro. Jordan said once that if we play their Game and win, we win their game... We don't win. We need to be better then this woke cancel culture.
@@rastaisfuture8630 no need to boycott, that's the same energy everyone that's doing evil to this beutiful human has.
Make the world better by being better. not by being an asshole like the radicals on anyside of the political spectrum.
Made me cry. These are tears of happiness, gratitude, and humility. He has, regrettably, been depicted in the most worst ways i.e. Nazi, chauvinist etc. Most of his opponents haven't watched any of his lectures. I genuinely admire and respect him because of something about him that is so sincere and honest. May God keep him safe and give him the courage to stand up for what he believes to be right. Amen
I don’t understand why because from the first day I’ve watched him I was hooked.
Amen.
He's not the only good person who's been attacked in this fashion...
Those who deny truth can’t stand those who speak it but that’s no reason to stop speaking out. I’m so glad he hasn’t.
I agree 💯! Amen.
She touched on something that hurt him deeply
It’s a privilege to watch such a touching , transparent moment, where healing takes place
Thank you
Amen. ❤
"I allowed myself to be curious again."
Such a beautiful & wise statement.
There is so many great humanity in these words and this entire clip.
Most of all I love the fact that we see humans with all their flaws, emotions and overcoming and channeling both to do and become better.
So many people try to sell a perfect picture of who or what they are because somewhere down the line being a human wasn't good enough anymore...
And then you see this... tears, admitted mistakes and reflecting on hard times... and none of this felt weak or like it should better have been hidden.
I will watch this clip many more times.
Only the strong allow themselves to be curious. Because you can find out. That you could be wrong.
This statement is exactly how I've been feeling these days too.
Ever since I allowed myself to let go of the notion that being a left-wing, liberal feminist was the only morally acceptable world-view for a modern woman, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I don't agree with every last thing that Jordan Peterson says, but I'm shocked by how much value I have found in his lectures...value which I would have never discovered as long as I clung to my identity as a hard-left liberal.
The greatest gift and irony, since I learned to let go and become curious again?
I've fallen in love...with a man who endorses Men's Rights, Red(ish) Pill social theories, and traditional family values.
Someone who I would probably have hated on principle five years ago...is now someone whom I want to raise a family and grow old with.
Life is such a strange and wonderful journey.
@@thunberbolttwo3953 That's fantastic!!
@@TakaraoftheElves Thanks for sharing that with everyone! Amazing & Inspiring!!!
This just reinforces how the internet gave everyone a voice, but took everyone's listening capabilities away. Glad to see someone realizing that, escaping and making JP that happy.
As JP says himself its easier to just assume the other person is the enemy rather then give time, get out of your way to listen to what they have to say. It is easier to be ignorant then educated. Since knowing JP 2016 i have heard most of interview here and there and mostly his lactures. And my god if only i had a teacher like him in my collage.
Very true.
Never thought about it in that way, 100%.
This is a profound summary of this, our "information" era.
Well said!
Seeing this man tear up from one simple thank you shows how much he cares about his work and who he can help. He deserves no hate for what he does to make the world a better place.
Amen!
I’m a black woman and I’m having the same experience right now that Africa had. I thought he was a bad person for so long and now I’m listening to his lectures and I’m planning to purchase his book. I think we really need to stop throwing the words Nazi and racist around and save them for people that actually fit them.
love this!
I mean when Bill Maher had him on he seemed to almost be shaking his head at how the hell Jordan Peterson was the face of the far right when everything he said actually made perfect sense
@@libtardslayer3048 why would I be? Jordan Peterson's advice is great no matter what race you are.
@@RobwLPOC I meant to respond to Lauren S. My bad
Yeah, right?
Africa seems like a lovely person. Realizing you are wrong about something and embracing that reality is very humbling and shows a lot of moral character. It’s a painful but life giving experience.
yep never heard of her but have subscribed now
I have a simple job but it requires spending time on the road . I take a pride in getting deep with anyone that's up for it . don't let them bully and divide us ❤️
"If you're not embarrassed by who you were 12 months ago, you haven't learned enough."
A lot more people need to open their minds to the opposite ideas and be a bit more understanding if more people do what Africa did they might realize that there's a lot less differences between us than we are led to believe and that most of us have a lot more in common than our preconceived notions allow us to see. Preconception is a powerful tool and it's fairly heavily used to create propaganda and division between people who would otherwise get along completely fine with one another. And I have friends from all walks of life I do not discriminate I sit down and I have heated debates and arguments on philosophy and religion and politics with some of my friends and is heated the arguments and debates may be we never turn on each other at the end of it we end up having a drink together and we still love each other as friends it changes very little when you actually listen and attempts to understand the other person you will see more about them and more about yourself at the same time
@@joeking6972 Why be embarrassed though? it's a progression that happens to everybody.
When he started crying I felt really bad for him. We all see Jordan as this amazing person and pillar of salt for Earth. But we forget that he's only human at the end of the day and he himself has shown a couple times that all the hate he receives does effect him and does get to him. But he keeps on fighting for the betterment of us. People like you and me. I can't imagine how many times this man has completely broken down or cried while being held in his wife's arms because he's been so harassed and criminalized by so many people and then a few hours or days later goes up on stage and delivers as if he's unshakeable. This man is an absolute hero.
I thought two things.
1. I fucking love this guy, I haven’t seen someone care that much about helping another human being in actual YEARS. Maybe my life. That said, that thought actually made me rather sad.
2. It’s one thing to listen to his lectures, but seeing his vulnerable side really put things in a whole new light; seeing as though he can also be so strong. It made me feel as though I have even less of an excuse to be irresponsible in a weird way, because everyone suffers- even Mr. Peterson (if that makes sense). In that sense, only my father has had a similar effect on me when I young.
He's greatly beloved.
Imagine being him at that moment though.
So unfair for someone so empathetic. Pisses me off.
I wish he was a pillar of salt, salt is actually useful
@@ddave9535 All of your ignorance and hatred will keep you miserable. Try actually listening instead of just smearing and lying. Don't be a child. Attempt to learn. You might be less of a bitter and angry person.
Jordan, I saw your full interview with Chloe Cole today and then this video. I really saw your heart today and I’m grateful for that. I’m ex-transgender having transitioned at 42. After a terribly difficult life, the simple truth that God doesn’t make mistakes turned me around rather quickly. How great is our God!
@michellemiqueaux5251 ❤ Amen
My son, now 41, told me about you. He said you are his hero. I didn't really know about you, so I looked you up. I am so glad I did, you have helped me in so many ways. You have changed my life and my sons. For that, I will be forever grateful!
I love this man.
So do I
Same
100%!
I love what this man does and stands for. I do not know him personally.
Are you, attracted you the opposite gender?
I love his humility. The way he allows himself to be genuinely emotional. We've all got our fragilities. This poor man has been misrepresented and yet he still chooses to stand up. A real hero.
He's slowly letting this all get to his head. He needs to work on his listening skills and let others finish their thoughts without interruption. I do agree with alot he says.
You are a hero a lot of people don't listen to what they'll say listen to what these ladies got to say the truth the truth you are a great man thank you for all what you do
He has earned such respect with his humility. I am grateful he is a beacon of hope!
@ernestpwhirl start with yourself Instead of pointing fingers
@@wonder777warrior6 😂😂 you sheep
This man deserves multiple Nobel prizes for his contribution to society including peace prize.
If there was one for bravery, that one too.
An inspirational man.
Woooow. So true!
@@Cancionera40 Then clearly you are not listening or understanding him.
Either that or I predict you are a troll coming to wind people up who you don't agree with rather than having a mature debate.
@@Cancionera40 As predicted you don't want to listen or debate. Happy to move on. Maybe you should listen to others like Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh, maybe JP doesn't do it for you.
Either way I hope you listen, but have a nice life in woke world.
@@Cancionera40 Good, you are now talking and debating. I did not attack you, I was polite at all times. I don't know you , but find it rare for people to not be inspired by JP. So I challenged you to prove your point.
I don't agree with the raised voice or ADHD point, but respect your opinion.
That my friend is debate. Again have a nice life and glad you were not a troll.
PS Glad you like Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh.
@@Cancionera40 I was trying to be nice oh well enjoy your life byeee
It takes a courageous and honest person to admit that they were wrong. So few people do. They would rather live a lie than to admit that they were wrong. Nothing but respect for Africa. And Jordan Peterson is the real deal💯
Also requires a level of intellectual and emotional intelligence that some incapable of grasping no matter their education, past experiences, culture, sex, race, political stance, etc…
He surely is the real deal!
This man has single-handedly saved more people from darkness than he could ever imagine. His heart is bigger than the world and his mind is more brilliant than words could ever describe. Breaks my heart to see that there is still so much hatred for an individual who just wants people to achieve their dreams and be happy with themselves and their loved ones. We are lucky to have him.
Well said!
Absolutely.
Such an open and genuine soul. So open about his humanity. And he has done this for decades. While being married, while being a father, while being a therapist, while teaching at universities.
That's incredible. What have his haters achieved?
Nothing professionally. Nothing socially. Nothing on a social media level.
They say you are judged based on your enemy. Perhaps in this networked day and age, this social media, infotainment day and age, perhaps you are judged on just how many enemies you have?
Have we moved on from one enemy defines us? To how many of anonymous keyboard warriors hate us, to define us?
Isaiah 5:20 says “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
There are many people out there, putting light for darkness and calling what is good evil. That I know. I am a clinical psychology student and ever since I came across Jordan Peterson, I have been blessed with his knowledge and wise remarks and I don't see the negative influence some people tend to claim about him. It's all the opposite. I love that man.
Im reading The Idiot atm and im ~ at half and must say Jordan is just like "The Idiot" from the book. He can read people very well, is open minded and has a big heart but there are many people hating him.
I wouldn't say he literally saved anyone, life is more complicated than that.
Jordon Peterson is an interesting man, in a good way. He's very emotional yet not a push-over or a weakling. He's real and his words hold massive weight
very well said. spot on.
Very Passionate and caring man.
Peterson is a real mench.
“Emotional”. Is a sign of Humility in this Man.

So amazing. Because of Jordan Peterson I was finally able, at the ago of 70, to admit my many failures and begin to relax and enjoy a humble life. It was so profound that I wrote a book about it and it freed me. Thank you Jordan, and I call you that not out of disrespect but because I call my friends by their first name and you, Sir, are the best friend I’ve ever had whom I will never be able to meet. God bless you and your family.
Beautiful words.
What’s your book called
I agree with you and feel the same way about this lovely strong man.
You’ll meet him.
Even this comment can change the lives of many who struggle to admit their failures and move on!
It’s important to not under estimate the training, credentials and personal life experiences that this man brings to the table.
Can't remember the last time I saw Jordan laugh and smile like that. Haven't seen his videos in a while but good to see him smiling and laughing again :')
🙂 thats what i felt too
You are missing out. His recent stuff is JBP gold.
I Know what you feel mate..
Key to not taking life too damn serious. Stay joyful guys
He was joking and having fun on Steven Crowder's show.
This young lady, Africa Brooke, is elevated as she has been enlightened. And Jordan is just reacting to it. It's hard not to feel deep emotions whenever a glimmer of truth affects another life for the betterment of humanity. Jordan is not a perfect man, neither am I, nor you. However, Jordan is trying to make the world a better place. And for that, I love him.
AMEN!!A
You, not they!
What's not to love, he wants to make people great again.
@Kalda Forn BLM was just a way to rip off naïve well meaning white people with their guilt
@Kalda Forn so save nothing in the house... just let it burn because we can't save it all?
If there was a line of people who want to thank this man for changing their lives, he’d never stop crying.
I’m gonna show my kids his speaches.
More people need to see this. A simple "thank you" shakes him to his core. All of the hate, the constant attacks by narrow minded people... It must be hell for him. But I hope he never stops sharing his kind and important words. He literally changes lives. Thank you Jordan!
A guy that I was “seeing” loved Jordan Peterson and our relationship was a little weird because he was quite conservative and I was quite liberal so I just made assumptions and didn’t like Dr. Peterson for like 2 years. Even though I read his second book, I just kept making excuses and dismissing his points. It’s only lately that I’ve let myself truly listen and enjoy. I’m so grateful that I was able to get past the false idea I had built in my own head.
Hope you 2 have a great life together
Intelligent woman. Pushing past her own walls.
Hey, That’s the beauty of humility and maturity as we grow. The special of us admit when we were wrong and acknowledge it. UhhhMazing
While J Peterson is right of center Mr P is not a stereotypical conservative. That is why it is so important to listen to him with an open mind and carefully consider what he says.
For someone to call Jordan Peterson “right of center” shows just how hard to the left the media is trying to drag us. Mr. Peterson is a classic liberal, which have been crucified by the left and vilified as much as the right. Even more so, since they are perceived as a larger threat than the conservatives.
He is a mixture of socially genius and a kind hearted person. You see when she's saying something that supposed to be embarassing. He makes the conversation about all of them and give her excuses to not have to bring up excuses to what she did.
That humility is contagious under the right conditions. We need it as an inoculation to the current political disarray. We all must participate in that humility, in the presence of dissent, to move onward and upward.
Part of it is that he can not only sympathize with a person but understand the drive behind actions of people and not simply take offence, but understand other peoples perspective through a neutral lens.
No seriously may God continue to bless this man & his family 🥺
He's a great listener and interpreter of conversation
@@invictus_They-Them_Nazi_Hunter lol. Projection at its finest. What a great argument! Lol
I am probably what some would call a lefty. I heard something of his and turned my head. Every now and then clips of his popped up on youthbe etc. I now listen to everything he has to say. I agree with almost everything. I forward the clips through to friends and tell them to listen to his views. Enlightening. Hard to argue.
Let us know how it goes.
You’re an honest person. Too many on the left have written him off without hearing him out. He’s not perfect but he’s trying really hard to be true and honest. I think he has integrity that no politician can hold a candle to. He’s an act to follow.
Somewhat of a conservative guy here living in Texas. Even some of us on team red can get our heads up our own ass. I always tell my friends that most of us everyday people have more similar views than we would like to think.
it's great that you can remain open-minded enough to listen to what your political "allies" see as their arch-enemy.
Real men cry. Not so much when we're hurt, but when we are overcome with joy or pride or seeing acts of heroism. It takes an exceptionally strong man to display that level of emotion, especially publicly.
Definitely agree with this, I'll never cry when the chips are down but show me an act of heroism or compassion in reality or fiction and I'm balling like a little baby.
I cry when Jordan cries. I’ve never loved a stranger before in my life and I feel brotherly/fatherly love for him. He is a true treasure in this world and he is to be protected and cared for. It’s so rare to witness someone like him in a lifetime.
Being a 21 year old man he has helped me a lot in the past 4 years dealing with growing up. Even my own father who was born in 1959, 3 years senior to Jordan, found many important and life changing teachings from this man.
Beautifully said
Took the words right out of my mouth.🌹🌹
Me too Lori, so brilliant
totally
Well I didn't expect myself to cry so much while seeing Dr. Peterson cry to the point I had to pause the video until I calmed down. And that's because he literally changed my life. I am a medicine student in Romania and lost my way big time... until I discovered Dr. Peterson whom I consider now as my second father at this point as I feel like he made me find a purpose in life and got me out of depression and stregthen myself. I'm so sorry that he had to go through so much but I am glad he is still with us and giving so much of his time trying to help people. Dr. Peterson is truly my hero and we are truly blessed to have him.
I absolutely and wholeheartedly feel the same as you. So much love for Jordan!
I feel the same way! I am so grateful for all Jordan Peterson has offered me, It’s beyond my words how I feel sorry to see him pass for all this shitty situation! I hope he stands still with.
I love hearing stories like this because I can relate to them.I’m a medical student too, and Jordan’s messages have really been helpful in the hard times.
Im glad they helped you too.
Noroc doctor :)
@Darren sure, if you think you're better than him, you shouldn' t take advice from him ;)
He’s a smart man. Depressed by the weight of his own mind. I’ve experienced this type of breakdown lately and it comes from moments of pure light and darkness alike. He’s not numb.
Don't ever give up Dr. Peterson! We need someone like you
After 10 years of begging doctors for answers, this year I was diagnosed with endometriosis. It changed everything in my life at the time of surgery. I'm a PhD student and have just felt so lost in my studies. You gave me the confidence to find a true mentor, and really showed me that the world truly does lose out when I am not taking care of myself when I have chronic pain. Your words have been the only thing keeping me sane and moving forward, and I can't help but thank you
I am in the same situation as you..lost in my PhD..needing a menthor..how did you go about that?
I’m in a PhD program (my second year) and in august had to have surgery to remove an endometrioma! It has changed my life significantly, and I have lost s lot of motivation and drive throughout this semester. Hang in there, and I hope things start looking up for you. Chronic pain is a beast to deal with daily, but can be managed appropriately- I have changed my diet, incorporated meditation and stress reduction techniques. Easier said than done but stress increases inflammatory responses in the body which significantly exacerbated pain, especially endometriosis with it being an inflammatory condition. Sending you positive vibes ❤
My daughter just had surgery and is much better. It took a while to diagnose. Not 10 years, though.
Lovely words
Anyone: "I hate you!!!"
Jordan: "Hmmmm interesting, why do you think you feel that way?"
God I just love it
@Kalda Forn It's not about "winning people over". It's about maintaining an open channel for discourse to avoid people from getting sucked into mutually exclusive echo chambers. We can never be "over that". This is exactly how society becomes polarized, for the detriment of almost everyone.
And to conclude, always remember: Twitter is cancer!
Have a nice day
It's also Carl Rogers style therapy, part of it is that deep down, we know the answers to our own questions about ourselves, either consciously, subconsciously, or unconsciously. It's not the therapist's job to give straight answers/advice, but to point people towards the path where they can realize the answers themselves. "As no one else can know how we perceive, we are the best experts on ourselves."-C.R.
That kind of question is proof that he is a deeply professional and honest clinical psychologist
@@bva0 Thats what he was saying guy.
😂😂😂
I didn't realize the Marvel thing had affected him that much. I guess it's easy to picture influential people like they're immune to insults. It makes you realize that we're all just human, and this trend of going around slandering people isn't something you can always be strong enough to roll your eyes at.
Yeah I was surprised to but I guess when you think about it, he really is trying to help people on real person levels and empower them, which is why he speaks so strongly against any kind of dictatorship, and so to be portrayed that way hits him where he bleeds
imo one of the biggest problems with the Marvel incident is that i know not everyone is going to handle it as well as Jordan Peterson will. he's got a background that keeps him from falling into the self-fulfilling prophesy that could potentially come from being categorized under the red skull "archetype." the same can't necessarily be said for the sizeable group of young, white, conservative men who only have a cursory understanding of his work and know that they agree. if ta nahesi coates were trying to create an actual violent fascist movement in the west, this is how he'd effectively go about doing it. if they don't stop painting people the way they do, they risk having the prevailing thought on the young right become "well, maybe I am red skull - and that's OK"
It was brutal. The people that created it probably haven't really listened to him either. We will await their redemptive podcast coming soon lol.
that marvel thing made him look in a way that he detests and does not want to be... the possibility that people see him like a new hitler or sth of that sort must have been realy bad on him
There is always a tipping point. Especially if you try to be honest in a malevolent world.
I just watched his discussion on a Bill Maher panel from four years ago and was struck to near tears at Peterson’s humanity. He was asking the panel what, if after they were successful in ousting Trump, did they plan to do for the people who followed him…what plans were there for reaching out and making them feel that they were part of the fold of American citizens. They were, of course, preoccupied with their own agendas, but it’s the first time I’d seen someone think of unpopular conservatives in a generous light. I have to thank Olivia Wilde and her crass comments. I’d actually never heard of Peterson before she attacked him but took her condemnation as a ringing endorsement to see him in action. So glad I did and have just placed an order for his 12 Steps book.
This was beautiful to watch. There is hope for humanity to come together and heal itself & each other ❤❤❤
nope
I am a former Incel. Thanks to advice by Mr Peterson, i have learned that the internalized anger and bitterness i have felt, were all a construct of my own making. I created my own hell. I want to apologize. I know i haven’t hurt you directly, but perhaps indirectly by supporting a negative doctrine of spite and resentment. The key to finding a reliable partner is not to hold out for someone who is submissive, but to be submissive to myself, and become the partner that i wish to have.
Bless Africa for her humility to admit her wrong assumptions, THIS is a strong independent woman.
I felt for JP when he broke down , you could see the joy and pain in him being lifted and vindicated in that moment.
Africa "thank you, thank you"
JP "It's a pleasure, a rough pleasure"
that broke me .
shes an idiot , what kind of person bases their whole judgement on a subject let alone on another person on the pronouncement of a third person giving secondhand opinion ??? and them go on for years to discount and ignore every other persons advice based on that prejudice ? at least she did have that eventual glimmer of sanity to open her mind to reality
@@bobsaturday4273 did you watch the full ten minutes or better yet-the whole interview? I'm thinking judging on a ten minute clip is equally terrible to judging a whole human being on ten minutes. Or a single comment on a TH-cam channel. Dig deeper and look closer? "I don't need you to understand me. I just need you to understand I'm having a human experience." - Daphne (Dave Chappelle's deceased friend)
@@bobsaturday4273 Just like you are doing right now? Watching a 10 minute clip and basing your opinion on her of that? Seems pretty contradicting to me
Bald lady's initial facial expression are quite evident that its not sincere reaction to Jordan's analysis of argument discussed. Seems like it bothered her to an extent based on how she roled & squinted longer than normal.
@@bobsaturday4273 Yet you just called her an idiot, after having spent only 10 minutes listening to her speak. _10 minutes._ That's not even enough time to fully introduce yourself to a person, much less get to know them in any meaningful way. And here you are, basing your whole judgement of her on the pronouncement of your own second-hand perception of her in this conversation.
And you'll probably go on for years, persisting in your belief that she's an idiot, even though you don't know the first thing about her. Hypocrite that you are! Remove the TREE from your own eye before you start digging for specks in other people's.
Here in Ethiopia, Almost everyone I came across know who you are are Dr Peterson. I can’t tell you how much my life is transformed because of you. I can’t tell you how much you’ve been helping uplift the youth here. I’ve been watching you for over 5 years. Please don’t pay attention to the bullies of marvel, they’ll be forgotten along with their ideology and movies. But you’re philosophy, classes advice and your humanity will stay with the world forever. Love from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Awesome comment! 😎 I find this so encouraging. Best wishes to you!
So cool people all over the world are learning from this man and not just westerners 👍
Right on! So glad to hear that people from other parts of the world are benefitting from his wisdom.
I actually really hope JP leaves the West for a bit and travels around Africa and Asia. Being that we are moving towards a globalised world one way or another it would be good to speak to and make connections with like-minded people abroad, especially those in developing nations.
Knowing that people all the way over in Ethiopia is listening to Jordan Peterson makes me so happy.
This interaction was so pure. Africa’s encounter and communication with Jordan, Jordan’s reactions to her is just so authentic! There’s a sense of peace and clarity that comes from this interview
When you've been forced to be strong and endure a barrage of both attacks and a complete lack of appreciation, a small, simple, sincere word of gratitude can pierce right to the heart.
Seeing Jordan’s raw reaction tells me everything I need to know about the man. He truly cares about humanity and is only trying to help us all reach a higher level of consciousness.
❤️
I believe he plays a very valuable role in society, but he still has his biases and limitations that prevent his further growth qua consciousness. Leo gura from actualized has a great nuanced analysis of jordan. Highly recommended!
Some Climb to Glory guys helped us out once downrange. Thank you.
@@CamouflageMaster It may be exactly this aspect of him, having these levels of biases still, that make him more accessible to the people he's supposed to impact with his perspectives.
In essence, everyone is biased.
I see a lot of bias in Leo as well and question the accuracy of his insight, including on topics like JP or conspiracy theories and such. Yet he (Leo) is being of tremendous service to the collective and many of his sharings are profoundly valuable, advanced and on point.
The same could be said of JP, although JP imo isn't as aware of deeper dynamics of consciousness in an experiential and intuitive sense as can be seen in many people who have had awakening experiences and are advanced meditators or perhaps made use of psychedelics to enable a lot of such insights like Leo seems to have done.
JP is poking the collectives ego and delusions from a certain angle that is still relatable enough (for many) to understand and to contest with/process, for the point that the collective is currently at in its level of consciousness.
@@EvilUmagon interesting, hadn't thought of it like that before in regards to JP. But it makes sense what you say to me. Would you share some of the biases you see in Leo?
Africa's explication was fantastic. Very honest and humble, no wonder it moved Jordan that much, it is exactly the change he wants to catalyze in the world, having people re-think their pre-conceived notions not only about other people but also themselves and their standing in the world.
Absolutely. And I think Africa’s example took her such bravery, honesty and kindness to admit. I think his recognition of that act is what makes him weep, along with the fact that, as you say, this kind of change is exactly what he hoped people would take from his lectures, and things went somewhat the other direction for far too many people due to the lies brung forth of those very tribalistic tendencies. It’s like a vindication.
@@likelydaily6767 im sure, deep inside his mind, there's doubt. doubt that maybe this is all for nothing, maybe he was wrong, maybe doubt about human nature, doubt about what was all this for. then when he hears those words from africa, it's like how satan is defeated, and it feels glorious, feels like a choir almost shouting in victory, that it's right. this is it. vindicated is an apt word
@@williamadiputra2850 100% but that's why he's so successful. Because he cares about helping more people than his collegiate teachings could reach, he cares more about the message than he cares about his own mental health. There are too few people in this world that are so selfless.
Well said.
Yes - beautifully put. What we really want to see in the world is an inside job - it takes humility and strength. This girl is a wonderful role model.
The first time I listened to Jordon was during a period of depression as well. I was embarking on a spiritual journey so to speak and very confused and angry. Angry that every pastor I had spoken would dodge my questions and make me fell as though I was trying to prove religion wrong. I stumbled upon is 12 part biblical series where he spoke about several biblical stories from a phycological perspective. It was then that things just started to make sense and I felt the burden of guilt or conviction start to lift from my shoulders. I appreciate this man because he speaks his mind and what a complex mind it is. At times I his talks would seem scatter brained but it was more his constant array of thoughts or so I think which I can completely resonate with. Thank You Jordan
As an older Black Male I have been on the JP band wagon since day one first Rogan episode! Got the books and currently waiting for the T-shirt! Self Reliance and Responsibility for a Fatherless Generation!
God is the Father to the Fatherless. Jordan is sent by God for such a time as this.
JP goes up another notch in my mind. Here’s a man who could hear a story like this and easily respond with pride and arrogance in his achievement to be right. Instead, he responds with raw humility and joy and finds happiness in someone else’s circumstances. A response from someone who has a true heart for people and outcomes, not ego or narcissism. Thanks to Africa Brooke for sharing.
Perfectly stated. I couldn't agree more!!
Exactly. Well pointed.
Your comment deserves 2 thumbs up. Thanks for shining a light on a quality Jordan possesses that far too few have.
@@edledoux2788 As an older person from a Christian-heritage country, I can tell you it used to be a lot more common.
It is called meekness, which has been misinterpreted for decades.
It doesn't mean "weakness". It means surrendering your strengths (eg intellectual strengths or position etc) for the sake of others, for the benefit of others, out of LOVE (desiring their good) for others.
It's a trait of Jesus (as anyone who has read the Gospels knows) and also those who are born of the Spirit and have Him - by the Holy Spirit - indwelling (John 14:16-17, Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 13:5 etc).
It is so powerful and its effect so influential on society that even its seeds down the ages were/are seen in societies.
I call it "the touch of His robe" or the "light of His countenance".
In other words, even those NOT born of the Spirit and who wouldn't even have called themselves "Christian" were positively affected by this influence and imitated it, in the same way that we are influenced by the sun even when it's sooo far away.
Christian influence is still there in the world even when true regenerate believers (the only kind: John 1:12-13) are fewer i.e "far away".
Jordan Peterson would likely agree as he is being more and more influenced by Christ.
Suffering is the only thing that humbles us and when we are made "less" by suffering (even temporarily), when we cry out to Him, He lifts us up.
More Christ in people always makes them better.
We were created by God but we're spiritual orphans tainted by the corrupt world and "the prince of this world" i.e Satan...until we are re-united/reconciled to God the Father through His Son (Romans 5:1).
"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled. Whoever humbles himself will be exalted"
And he made sure to post it on his own channel for the humility of it all.
Very impressed by Africa Brooke's honest relationship with her own prejudices.
Truly
And that applies to all of us.
@Jan Sobieski not at all. That’s hard for anyone of any background to do. Most people never confront or own their biases.
@Jan Sobieski My response had nothing to do with race. I wasn't idolizing anyone. In fact, I specifically stated that it's an impressive thing for *anyone* to do, regardless of their race/culture/gender/whathaveyou. I relate to your raw feelings about Waukesha but flipping out at people who vaguely look like the people you ostensibly hate is exactly what we rightly despise the BLM/Antifa rioters for doing. There may be a valid place for you to direct the enmity you're expressing, but this particular comment thread is not it.
Sicko
Reading comments here about this legend. Thank you all so much for giving this Man so much grace that he deserves. I admire his truth
As a 73 year old Englishman, I have been recently listening to Jordan Peterson's videos more, and find myself amazed at his ability to convey so clearly the truth of things today. This is also not the first time I have seen him cry in an interview. The world needs so many more Jordan Peterson's, who speak from such a depth, that we cannot avoid listening with our hearts and our souls. You are a true inspiration, and perhaps if we all listen to you, there will only be the need for just yourself . . . . !
I respect a man who can show his emotions like this. This is a real man and a honest man. Respect to you, Jordan.
As well as to her for being willing to sit and take the time to actually LISTEN TO HIM rather than the snap judgment of her friend’s opinion from an unfinished 3 minute clip.
I think I saw my Dad cry one time in my whole life. The first time I cried was after my Mom passed away, I was 47 years old.
He's so damn special. All I want for my birthday is the biblical series lectures back! Love you guys.
So true. I caught a couple videos of Jordan explaining/ analyzing some stories in the bible. I could listen to any historical/ religious text with his narration and thoughts.
did they get rid of them or something?
Jordan misses some things in his path to find meaning in his biblical research, but not much. He is earnest in his search and that accounts for a lot in my opinion. The few times he misses the mark are many times more overshadowed by the general emphasis of delving deeper and finding meaning where very few have trod. His search is good for him and good for all who partake in the fruit of his search for the meaning embedded in scripture. This search raises all boats.
Are there videos that were removed? I looked on the channel just now, there is a biblical series playlist. Maybe there was more? I remember there being many many videos of university lectures, but I don't see so many now. Am I just misremembering the amount of material or did some of it actually disappear?
@@ricklaming3007 Do you know he´s done lecture series called Psychological Significance of Biblical Stories? It´s on his channel, 15 parts, each 2 and a half hours long. Enjoy. :)
This man’s words are the very reason why I’ve sobered up, he’s the reason why I stopped being weak and giving up on myself, hearing all the wisdom and motivation he gives out relentlessly is the reason why of woken up and started to see things in a better light. The amount of power his knowledge has is incredible. We need more men like this to help the rest of us strive and keep pushing forward. Thankfully we have Jordan Peterson. This man’s words single-handedly helped me get back to chasing my career and allowed me not to live a life in the light of fear anymore. If it weren’t for Jordan Peterson I’d still be pushing myself into a pit too deep to climb out of. This man’s an idol and he truly deserves the world. I’m getting my job back soon, the most stable job I’ve had before I started giving my life to the substances. I thank god for Jordan Peterson.
Just found this man a week ago. I was always just taking the position of “whatever makes people happy, go with the flow, mind my own business.”
But this man has really made me rethink my values, my stance in life. You are making so much sense, even just for a single mom with no high education, you have opened my eyes about the things that the media are portraying on matters such as the gender pay gap, marriage, men etc. Thank you, for enabling me to broaden my way of thinking, and therefor setting new lifegoals and standards for not just me but also my son later in life. Thank you.
my mom was a single mom as well. Much respect for you and remember you mean the world to your kids!
He needs to hear how much he has truly done for women like me. Women of colour, first gen immigrant, working class. He changed my life. I owe him so much, so the least I can do is support him loudly.
agree, same here.
Just goes to show, Jordan doesn't speak only to a "white male" audience. He speaks to everyone with the heart to listen, and his message is important.
@@cnote3598 a poor white man is treated the same as a poor black man; yet a rich black man is treated like a poor white man. a white man in a ferrari is a casual thing to see to society, but the minute some people see a black man in one, they're a kingpin or some kind of illegal operator. i saw a news report on youtube a few years ago where a black man was in a very nice & posh looking estate visiting family, when a white family in the area called police on him for "a suspicious looking african-american" roaming in the neighbourhood. the fact that some white people can be confident enough as to call the police for a man of colour being in the same area as them, which actually gets a response by police and ended with the guy being detained, just shows the level of white privilege that is actually out here. if you feel like someone is trying to destroy you, you need to fix yourself, because ain't no white man out here being destroyed without destroying himself. you might even subconsciously feel like anyone who isn't the same race as you, is against you, which then grows hate toward that specific race, leading to the mindset of a common racist. not saying that's what you are because i don't know you, just throwing out possibilities. f**k colour, we're humans. a white lion doesn't get kicked out of the pride due to the colour of his fur.
@@cnote3598 No. I'm not even sure where to begin here, but I'll start with a simple no.
2 key things:
White males aren't being "genocided" for several reasons, least of which is that nobody is going around killing men for the sake of being men, and more importantly genocide doesn't apply in context of sex/gender.
Additionally, what Jordan's message is has nothing to do with genocide itself.
@@VNOMALII "if you feel like someone is trying to destroy you, you need to fix yourself"
I feel like this applies to everyone.
When someone wants to destroy you, you'll know it and it won't simply be a "feeling" because they will actively be attempting to do so.
You're more likely to be victimized by someone you know than a random stranger, so while being paranoid about those you don't know, you're allowing yourself to be open to destruction from those you think you know.
Which is weird because there's a lot of self-sabotage people of all walks engage in.
People think they can't improve their circumstance because everything is against them, which isn't necessarily wrong, but they hear the same thing being told to them by people they know and love and trust, and in listening to that message they allow those people to whittle away at what could be a foundation until they are destroyed by the collapsing weight of what they believe to be a ceiling or cage that keeps them down.
A cage and ceiling reinforced by people telling them the world is out to get them.
A cage and ceiling reinforced by people telling them that every time something bad happens to them, it's because of something they can't control, and so they're helpless to stop.
People are their own worst enemy.

In tough times just close your eyes and remember us the next generation who will lead by your example you set a path for us, so as always the path finder is one who takes most of the danger for his clan and our clan is humanity ❤️
As an African living and working in Toronto Canada, I can truly say that you sir are a rare gem. God bless you for all you are doing for this generation.
I love Jordan Peterson. Seeing him break down when she paid him such deep respects. It's easy to forget how much unfounded hate this man got and how much a simple compliment, a simple gesture of respect can mean to someone.
It was horrible😢
Colleen McCollough's book "A Creed for the Third Millenium" is about an ordinary man who was thrust into a new messiah role despite his own shortcomings. Harrowing stuff.
I wonder if that thought ever crosses JP's mind?
I feel so honored being able to listen to what this man has to say everyday. Hell, I now know how I want to raise my children, and how I want my family life to look like. All I can say is thank you Jordan, I wish you and your family all the best in the world. Love from Israel ❤️🇮🇱
I feel the same way.. My whole outlook on existence..inner strength in the face of the tragic.. How to live right.. My reconnecting with God and the spiritual...and a way to understand myself.. This man is profound

I feel the same way. He saved me from a worthless life. He literally rearranged information in my brain. Things are clearer. I'm making changes and the world is positively responding to me. I'm chasing meaning, not happiness. Mr Peterson, you are a hero in my life. Be abundantly blessed.
I don't know but I'm proud of you
Me too 💯❤️
Your life is bountiful, get out there and enjoy all it offers because you are worth it.
Well said
@@relentlessmyndz2005 i am too
I started off much in the same way as Mrs. Africa Brooke... and I have to say I started listening to Mr. Peterson purely out of curiosity to see how evil this man could really be and formulate clear arguments against him. And here I am, listening to his lectures and books, especially when times are dark and I lack a way out of the fog, because he seems to be the one shining a light in my way. Thank you, Mr. Peterson. You are much loved and admired by many of us.
I had some discussions with my wife because she thought he was evil or something, I told her listen and then tell me where Peterson is wrong... She changed her mind obviously :)
@@mfam98 she should see this video
Same here - I started off that way too, listening out of curiosity.
Welcome aboard :) it makes me genuinely happy to see people willing to change their minds about Peterson and reap the benefits.
That’s a really nice comment. I’m sure it’s pretty difficult to be Jordan Peterson.it’s even harder when he says things like tidy your bedroom to help with depression and it gets completely ridiculed. But anyone living with depression will completely understand what he means by this comment. his work does make a difference.
He literally keeps me sane - his reasoning, intelligence, and refusal to give in to bullying and bullshit. Unfortunately, in my profession I'm surrounded by a lot of the 'baying' that he tackles. So to me, Dr. Peterson is a lifeline and an oasis of reality.
I was in exactly this boat until Monday. It must be the most beautiful of agonies for him to be so regularly bombarded with hate and bile, by people who claim to be motivated by love, and then to have someone truly see what you're about and tell you how much good you've done for them.
Every time Jp start to cry i think to myself "oh no, JP, not again!" And then i, grown ass men, start to cry too.
Same here😔
@C K lol, get a life
Difference is, he cries for a valid reason. You cry because you're overly emotional and weak.
@@Izanagioomikami no. We cry because we understand his vulnerability and how much it takes to show that. We cry because it’s unbelievable how much that man has hurt. Crying when someone you admire is crying isnt weak and nor is it overly emotional.
@@sashavladimirova1458 thank you 🙏
The willingness of Africa Brooke to really check her own approach is fantastic. And Jordan accepting this can happen... We are talking about, and listening too elite people in thought and conversation. Thank you Mikhalla.
That's what I was thinking... because now I find myself wondering "am I listening or preparing to speak again" - So now I get to thank Jordan Peterson for affecting Africa Brooke for affecting me... lovely progression to better listening
But that’s what adults do, they revisit and revise their opinions.
@@lizroberts1569 You must be living in a very unique place because I know very very few adults willing to reflect at the level of Africa. How many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb? 1. But the lightbulb has got to want to change.
its not really "fantastic". Its what we should all be doing. I was taught to do precisely that when I was at university: you should always interrogate your own views to understand why you hold them and to make sure you are being rational. Its fundamental. But I agree that it is unfortunately uncommon amongst younger people in this day and age.
@@elo1031 great comment!
This man has probably one of the purest messages and viewpoints about humanity and he is so passionate about it he feels it to his core. And to be then twisted into this villain and portrayed as something so vile and something he even agrees is more vile in his own eyes is devastating but he hasn’t given up and silenced himself. So having a moment like this where he is so praises as having changed someone’s view of him fundamentally has to have been one of the most angelic things he has heard in a long time. This reaction is genuine. My reaction to his reaction was heartfelt and tearful.
What a Beautiful Conversation. When modern people overcome this cancel and extremist nonsense and actually talk with each other we can make out of our differences a wider understanding for everyone.
JP is intelligence, he is courage, he is honesty and clarity. As a (half) black man I always saw him as a voice for rational MEN and an encouragement to speak my mind and also dive deep in research and look for the facts and truth. Love live Jordan. (yes, I teared up to, BTW)

Id like to know what are you doing to help? for starters, lets have your list of modern day original philosophers, psychologists, etc that you think will resonate with the millions and millions as Peterson has. And i love reading so i cant wait to read who you list.
he is a is one of the elite also, playing into this whole pandemic narrative. watch he will vanish into the background once they start rolling around the digital ID. he is just an actor.
Why do you think a major corporate influence would agree with popular rhetoric, and label him a Nazi propagandist/sympathizer/apologist (choose your own degree of complicity)
I’ve noticed that when people go into conversations with little to no ego, that’s when truly amazing conversation happen. Jordan Peterson absolutely believes in his convictions but he does it with evidence and no ego. That is what makes a man truly great! Thank you.

Beautiful I am crying and honored that I discovered this incredibly learned man on TH-cam before his wife and then he became so seriously ill! His brilliance and his deep compassion! His candor! He gave me an update on my college education for free!!!!! Surround him in love and gratitude!
I've honestly never really thought about how our bias towards our "own group" and "not liking outsiders" comes into play in THE BIG PICTURE of things. I recognize it easy in tinier things, like where I'm going to an event with friends only and suddenly someone says they're bringing a person I don't know and there's this immediate "ugh whyyy" going in my brain, regardless of the person who I know nothing about.
Then, if you think about it, "our own groups" are on all levels of life. Family -> Friends -> People from the same city -> People who support the same sports team -> People from the "south/north" -> people from our country -> people with our religion/belief -> people with our gender -> people with our race -> people with our opinions -> people with our tastes in entertainment -> people who like the same genres of music.... each and every one of those comes with a bias towards the "own group". How many times do we label that kind of inherent(?) predisposition as "racism" or some other ism or phobia?
Also, Africa's "read this book" thing made me think: how often are we against opening ourselves to something that is being "pushed" in from the outside, because it feels like it's being thrown on us without us making the choice?
I remember a very specific moment where I thought about this, when I had kept on recommending a band and really hyping it up to my friend and they were like "I'll give it a listen when I have time". Some 6 months later or so, he recommends me a band. IT'S THAT SAME BAND. He had "found it" himself and then thought it was great and recommended it to me. At first it kinda offended me or at least annoyed me, that he had ignored something because it was me recommending it and I took it personally, kinda. But then I started to really look at my own behavior and how often I admittedly opened some hyped up link by a friend somewhat reluctantly, just out of respect for not wanting to be rude. Sure, sometimes the song was great but there was AGAIN that "ugh why" first reaction for some reason.
I see quite a lot of the agendas currently being actively PUSHED being rejected strongly.. maybe the push, the feeling of being forced into look into it is a source of "ugh no". But when Africa took the time to look into things herself... she came around. No doubt those friends of hers who still hate JP
are likely stubbornly not taking her word for it.
Now, if I extend this investigation of myself (and others to the extent I can)...
I kinda notice that I have lower threshold to adopting something NEGATIVE from my friends.
If they hate a person or entertainment I haven't yet formed any idea about, I can keep it in my mind about something not worth attention.
Similar to how Africa had heard bad things, had a bias while watching and seeked for that confirmation bias... and we often find what we actively look out for.
Exactly the same thing happened to me. I had heard of JP and decided that I despised him. Was watching a documentary one day and suddenly JP pops up on the tv. I listened to the points he made in the documentary and thought “he’s not wrong”. Did some investigating because I assumed he must be “wrong” about loads of other stuff, but the more I investigated, the more I saw how he had been unfairly villainized. I’m so grateful to have given him a chance because a year later he has truly changed my life for the better and is now a hero of mine. I love you JP.

Since I found this man, i kept asking myself how fantastic someone has to be in order to become such an important part of your life. Mr. Peterson, you've been a Dad, a Mentor, a teacher, the reason why I could go on when crushed by utterly hopelessness and despair and frustration.
But more than anything you've shown me how to bring myself together, how to find my way from the utter chaos that has been my life for the past 30 years .
I evolved so much during these past five years. I now walk the earth with purpose and dignity, having systematically cleaned and put together every aspect of my life.

Dear Jordan,
Watching you cry on this video made me tear up as well, not just as a mirror neurons phenomenon, but because you embody the hero's myth that you so frequently talk about. Stand up in the face of malevolence and never straying from the path of service to others. My tears were followed by a very warm feeling in my chest, just cause I'm glad I live in an era where I could listen to you speak.
You have, more than you could fathom, helped me find meaning in my life. I had strayed far enough from my path in life during my early 20s, and might just have ended up cursing myself and the world if your work hadn't presented itself to me, almost like a message from god to get my act together. You helped me rearrange the chaotic mess of information in my head, and to finally use that and channel it towards a purpose.
You are a godsend to a confused generation my dear sir, and i beseech you to continue inspiring us to be the very best version of ourselves.
Thank you Jordan... Just, thank you

Jordan Peterson changed me more than I can explain. Was a worthless drunk spinning into a spiral of my own self loathing. Stand up straight, try and put your world in order. Man to see this guy cry breaks me up. Love you Dr. P. A true legend.
People who drink are not worthless. You are a great example of the potential they have stored inside.
Abraham is right; you were/are not worthless. You fell in a trap of addiction that you managed to escape from. You should be proud of yourself for that if nothing else.
I have the same experience, i found him after i got sober, and I was just so wulnereble, no identity what so ever... He spoked directly to my hart... After 3 years i have a identity now...
I am 50 years old and finaly i am me.. Took me 45 years to learn to live whit the sexual abuse.. Now i can.. And dr peterson have a big part in that 😊
Africa is so well spoken. And the fact that she allowed herself to be open minded, especially during those years of peak hatred and tribalism exacerbated by politicians and their media wings, speaks to a strength we should all have. Regardless of political stance. You don’t need to always agree, but just hearing people out is the key to toning down the hatred. And that’s what we need to keep this country from imploding.
This was amazing, really, I love Jordan Peterson. I was beyond ecstatic when he said one day, I found my faith, for years of knowing all there was in the Bible and debating it, it hit him. He said it felt like he always believed, cause he did, we all do, it’s about seeing and understanding and giving your life over to God.
I am so happy to have known you Peterson. Am no longer the same person I learnt 4 programming language even though I studied something different and now am taking a masters. Thank you
Way to be Victor!
Yeeeeeeeee!
Excellent, Victor! Way to go! I, too, have been inspired by Dr. Peterson to challenge myself. I’m now writing my first novel, while working a demanding full-time job. I’m nowhere near as driven as he is, but I’m doing something I thought I might never do. More than halfway complete now.
Congratulations
JP does the courageous thing that so many fear: RISK HONESTY. He has succeeded and suffered as a result of that.. physically and emotionally. To have a single voice confirm that he had reached them makes it worthwhile. I don't know where we would be if it were not for JP's courageous dissenting voice against the echo chamber of cowardice.
This is exactly why the left attacks him. Because he encourages individualism, which is the biggest affront to the establishment agenda of forcing collectivist ideals enforced by God - the government! In the form of force to instil cowardice and conformity upon the people.
Him crying means he bares a ton of pain by those who falsely view him as a tyrant, when in reality he loves them all so much!
Jp is a nice man with morals and empathy in a world full of lies and half truths
Sadly, Dr Peterson doesn't often get round to admitting his own mistakes. I mean, he CAN do it, and, on a very rare occasion, does. But a lot of his frankly bullshit statements, like the one about ancient knowledge of DNA (because snakes!) or the actual experience of god under "magic mushrooms", are still hanging awkwardly in the air. Why not come forward and admit to being wrong?
@@TinyShaman why can’t he believe that the snakes motifs in history has had an impact on human development and that amanita mascara mushrooms 🍄 can cause a meeting of a “god” like experience. Your name alone (tiny shaman) tells me that you are at least open to the idea that mushrooms or natural plants can give experiences that are extraordinary to “normal” life.
I think your hung up on the wrong things here. If you boil down what he’s saying to a few sentences he’s ultimately saying that we’re headed for a culture war between modernity and post modernity. Essentially Individualism vs Collectivism and what he sees as the problem when those two types of people meet in opposition. You get excessive fascism on the right and communism on the left.
He’s been sounding the alarm this whole time. He’s saying “stop! We’re going to kill each other and burn it all down if we can’t find a meaningful medium”.
@@jacobvanveit3437 I'm just talking about specific things without stretching my discourse all over the place. You know, it's a thing. The video is about admitting to being wrong. The OP is about RISKING HONESTY. And I'm talking about just that.
I don't care about his political views. I know him as a psychology professor, who is supposed to be an actual professional. Yet, the sheer amount of unscientific crap that comes out of the man's mouth is frankly staggering. And every time he's confronted about any of those things all we see is some shameful backpedaling. Never the direct and honest admission of his failings.
I love this man with my whole heart 😭😭😭❣️
This is beautiful. JP is a beacon of light and sense in a world that is growing more chaotic day by day. Thank you JP
Seeing Jordan emotionally moved by her words is so incredibly heartwarming. A lot of the time, people are looking to consume content that reaffirms their pre-existing beliefs rather than content that could potentially teach them something, but if you walk in with an open mind and no preconceived expectations, it vastly widens the landscape of information that you could potentially garner. And the other thing is people's reluctance to admit being wrong. These types of people would rather protect their ego than experience intellectual growth.
Beautifully said.
very true
I actually cried a bit hearing how that fricking comic book affected him..... Shame on that guy who drew that and whoever else worked on that.
Amazing. People constantly grow. Africa Brooke is thinking and growing and so are Jordan and Mikhaila. We're always growing and our ideas grow with us. Such a great video.
That’s nice, but there’s something annoying about ppl who’ve opposed all of this getting podcasts and spots on tv. I think an apology is in order em mass.
@@eatsomeseaweed9760 huh? Can you explain?
It's easy to get cynical and think that some people can't be redeemed or ever see eye to eye with you. Somehow people always surprise me.
What a touching moment this video showed as well all 3 people share such a real connection. Professor Paterson has so much to offer the world young and old, his intellect and empathy shines far beyond most of the 7 billion plus people running around on this fractured plane.
Every time I see jordan cry, it kills me, I really worry how people just keep trying to beat him down. It was lovely listening to your kind words.....Xx
I love how touched he was when she told him how much he'd done for her life and she thanked him. He often gets moved to tears when he learns that he's made a positive difference in someone's life. This man is genuine and compassionate and real.
You can tell how genuinely touched he was. Some people can turn the water works on and off like a faucet but, when your face becomes flush, your eyes get red and you start to sweat, it's almost like you're embarrassed that you've shown how vulnerable you really are. He genuinely cares that he has made a difference in someone else's life.
and i believe that’s why he does and that’s why he does have a lot of love from the people that actually listen to him rather than those basing their opinions on others. no matter how much hate he gets from everyone, as long as he knows he was able to touch one person, one soul, then in the end it was all worth it.
You don’t become a clinical psychologist if you’re not deeply motivated to help others.
This woman is an ACTUAL liberal (lower case L, dictionary definition).
She is open minded and willing to listen and think.
This is what we should all admire to be.
You mean “classic liberal”, not actual
@@nomnomnommy2955 classical liberals are actual liberals. Leftist socialist "liberals" are not actual liberals.

Jordan Peterson is a light in the darkness. He is a gift to the world at this critical time of division and cultural change. He is brave, courageous, a man who is humble, approachable, learned, not afraid to talk about his frailty as a human, and more importantly absolutely tenacious in the face of what could be overwhelming resistance to his messages. I pray his work and calling continue along with the physical strength and stamina required to maintain such a burden as he is shouldering like a mantle not unlike the prophets of old.
This man has a beautiful soul, and this generation is bloody lucky to have a man like this to listen to and help them (if they open themselves) navigate ( not everything but enough) this path called life. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar..
When this world says goodbye to Jordan, I will sob in a way that only the loss of immediate family has ever made me.
He, almost singlehandedly, guided me through the darkest parts of my life.
You can never be cancelled, Doc. This I promise you.
This man
OMG. Same feeling.
Ive heard of people who I thought how crazy must it be to be around when theyre alive. But I dont think i can even express my feelings about that im alive the same time he is. He wont be forgotten thats for sure
Feel the exact same way.
Same here man .
wow!!!
He cries quite often, but to my memory it's pretty much only when he's beng told or is talking about being told of the positive impact he's had on someone's life. He gets a lot of shit for what is just honesty as far as he can tell, and seems to take it very much to heart when someone appreciates this and is helped by it. Even more so when the person used to be afflicted by the intellectual dead-ends of the woke left, and eventually opened their heart and mind thanks to him. Great video and a touching moment.
the fact that he cries is evidence of a sensitive human being, and to be emotional "often" tells you how much the left attack him relentessly. Nothing offends more than the truth
Didn't happen that often until the debacle with his health. It's definitely not a bad thing though, it makes him easier to identify with.
Dr. Peterson, thank you for your perseverance. The world needs you now more than ever before.
The most interesting thing to me is how he handles it all. He is shown the kind of behavior from his adversaries that they accuse him of, yet rises above the pettiness in the quest to find truth and beauty in the word whilst in the process sharing this with the world. A true beacon of light.
